(Chapter 3- Strange Dreams)

It has been exactly an hour since Tyler and I had our little talk and I wasn't any closer to making a decision than I was then. I just wish I had some sort of sign of what I should do. What I really needed right now was guidance. 

Tyler opened up the door to my room and stepped in with that sexy smile on his face. Oh how things would be so much easier if he was my true mate. 

“Hey.” He said breaking the silence between us.

Oh crap was I just sitting there staring like an idiot? 

“Have you heard the good news?” He asked.

I quickly shook my head.“What news?” 

He looked at me and smiled. “You get to go home now.”

That is good news. I've been itching to get out of here since I woke up. 

“Good because I'm starving and I miss my bed.” I stated. 

It was afe to say I didn't get much eating done tonight after I found out about my mating but now I was more than ready to finish that left over pasta. I hope mom saved it for me. 

"Oh...about that." He said nervously. "Your home is kind of....with me now." 

"Kind of?" I repeated. 

"Yeah, it was my dads idea. He though it would bring up closer if we lived together....in the same room."

Well I can't say I didn't see this one coming. I knew it would happen one way or another I just didn't expect it so soon. Or until I was forced to give him my answer. I have a feeling though whether I want to or not this mating will happen. It's doubtful our Alpha would like me turning down his son. Perhaps it would be best if I just accepted this.  

"We can't share a room Tyler. We barely know each other. It's just not appropriate." I stated. 

"Okay, I promise to talk to my dad about it. Maybe he will settle to rooms side by side. But...did you decide anything yet?" 

"Jury's still out." I said. "I just don't know yet. Can I ask you something though?" 

He seemed a little disappointed by my answer but nodded anyway. 

“How long do we have before we have to...“ I paused and swallowed. “You know, officially mate.”

“Well, my dad wants me to turn soon so he can start training me to take over so... probably two weeks.”

Suddenly that sick feeling came back over me again and I felt dizzy. I can't just give up my virginity and be emotionally ready on two weeks. That preposterous. I've got to finad a way to stall. Maybe we can come to some sort of agreement. 

“Well what about the moving thing? Would it be possible for me to stay with my parents at least this weekend?” I asked hopeful.

“I guess that would be ok.” He shrugged. 

Relief washed over me at his answer. At least now I will have some time to come to terms with this whole thing. I can’t even imagine living with a guy. I’ve never even had a boyfriend. 

“Thank you.” I said. 

After a few brief moments of silence Tyler held out his hand to me. 

“Now that that's sttled how about we get you out of here and find you some food?" He said. 

“Sounds wonderful.” I smiled. .

Tyler walked out with me to meet my mom and dad, who were in a deep conversation with his parents. As soon as mom saw me she immediately stopped talking and gave me a tight hug.

“Mom I can’t breathe.” I said.

“Sorry honey.” She said letting go. “Are you ready to leave?”

“Definitely.” I stated. "But Tyler will bring me home. He's taking me to eat first."

I could see the smiles on everyone's faces get a bit larger at that, especially his moms. 

“That sounds wonderful." Karen said. 

"Of course honey. Just don't be out to late. You have school tomorrow." Mom added. 

How could I forget? I only have to spend majority of my life there. 

After saying our goodbyes to everyone Tyler helped me out to his car. Although it was probably because he was afraid I might pass out again but as long as no more surprises arise I think I'll be okay.

I had to admit I loved his car. I don't think I could ever get tired of riding in it. It was everyone girl in our school's dream to get to sit in it. And surprisingly there hadn't been many. That was one of the reason I liked Tyler. He was your standard high school jock. He was different. 

After our short trip to McDonald's we were on our way to my house. Tyler was a little disappointed I didn't let him take me somewhere nice but hey, what can I say, I  was craving a Big Mac. Plus I didn't want it to feel like a date. There was no sense leading him on when I was still unsure about us.

Once we arrived at my place I was pretty tired and I wanted nothing more than to put my mind to rest for the night. It had been a very long and confusing day and rest was exactly what I needed. I could only imagine what tomorrow would go now that the whole pack, which included our school, knew about us being mates. I'm sure to get death glares from a few girls that's for sure. I don't think they will be to happy about Tyler being off the market. 

"Do you want me to help you inside?" He offered as I stepped out of the car.

"No, I'll be fine. I think the worst of it is over." I chuckled. 

"Then I guess I see in the morning." He smiled.

"In the morning?"

"Yeah." He nodded. "I figured since we are mates now we would start riding to school together. You know, so everyone will know we're-"

"Together." I finished. 

This might only be my mind talking but I somehow I feel that until he gets his mark on my neck he'll always be with me. This could get old. 

"In the morning it is then." I said closing the door behind me.

Tyler waited outside until I was in my house, which I though was king of sweet. I couldn't deny that he genuinely seemed to care for me, as weird as that was. 

I walked up the stairs to my room and changed into my SpongeBob pajamas and snuggled into bed. Yes I have SpongeBob pajamas, and I love them. So what.  

Letting out a long tiring yawn I let my head rest on the pillow before letting myself drift off into a peaceful sleep. 

****

Dream-

I dipped my feet in the cool water from the river bank. The hot sun made it even more enjoyable than it normally was. I pulled one leg out of the water and propped it up so I could rest my head on it and stared off into the distance. 

“I’m sorry I didn’t know anyone was here.” A voice said.

I turned around to see who had spoken, but the sun was so bright I couldn’t see his face.

“Who’s there!?!” I asked holding a hand in front of my face to block out some sun's rays. 

He walked a bit closer but still not enough for me to see him which somehow disappointed me. I could feel something coming over me as he neared but I just couldn't explain it. But whatever it was I liked it. 

“Do you feel that?” He asked.

I nodded. “Yes, what is it?”

“It’s how we know.” He said.

I was confused, “Know what?”

“We’re mates.” He chuckled. 

I gasped as the feelings got stronger and stronger with every step he took towards me. Soon my whole body started to tingle. 

“Let me see your face.” I said anxious to see who he was. 

“Soon enough.” He said.s

"Wait, where are you going?" I yelled as he started to back away.

I quickly jumped up but before I could stop him, he was already gone and so was the feeling. 

*****

I quickly jerked awake and sat up in bed drenched in sweat. 

“What was that?” I whispered.

It was unbelievably hot in my room and my clothes were soaked. I was still trying to make sense of the dream I'd just had but nothing was coming to me. What did it mean? Why am I suddenly dreaming of my mate? Was he really my mate or something my mind made up? Those feelings had to come from somewhere though, right? 

I laid back down in my bed and tried to push the dream from my mind but I was finding it very hard to do. My mind was now restless and I couldn't possibly have any piece of mind until I figure this out. 

Jeremy’s POV

“The rogue problem was getting much worse and we were no longer able to handle it anymore. We need to seek help.” Dad said. “That’s why we are asking for assistance from another pack.”

“What pack is it?” One of the pack members asked.

“Alpha Stevens pack The Dark Moons.” Dad answered. “They are the strongest pack in the US and they are willing to help us anyway they can."

Everyone seemed to be pleased by this and immediately broke out into chatter. No one wanted to see anymore of our pack killed and this was our only defense. By doing this we could wipe them out and prevent anymore deaths. We just needed more wolves to do it.

“My son and I will be traveling there next week to meet with the Alpha. I’m leaving Owen, our Beta, in charge until we return.” He added.

After the announcement, dad began to socialize with some of the pack members while I just watched on. I didn’t know enough about the situation to answer any questions so I just observed from afar. Dad really wanted me to take over soon, but seeing as I haven’t mated yet, I can’t turn and therefore couldn’t be Alpha. After realizing  this meeting my mate was now my priority list. 

Dad was anxious for me to find my mate just as much as I was but so far I've had no luck. I was beginning to wonder if she was even out there and that’s why I made a deal with my dad. If I don’t find her in one month then I would have to choose a mate myself, and that’s why I was hoping this trip to the Dark Moon pack would led me to her. Maybe if I was lucky enough she would be one of their members.

Kiela’s POV

When I was finished getting ready for school I went to the kitchen to eat a quick breakfast breakfast before Tyler arrived. 

Mom had some pancakes laid out for me and I took some and immediately began eating on them. They were blueberry my favorite. As I ate them, the dream from last night kept playing through my mind. I couldn't get it out of my head. I wanted to know so badly if that was really my mate. 

After I finished eating there was a quick knock on the door and I already knew who it was. After gathered my things I answered the door and I was right. Tyler stood their casually with a lazy grin on his face.

"Ready to go?" He asked. 

“Yep." I nodded. 

As I walked out of my house I made sure to close the door behind me. Just as my hand left the handle I felt warm flesh fill its spot and looked down to see Tyler's hand in mine. I was shocked by this gesture since I had never had a guy hold my hand before and didn't know exactly what I should do. Can someone say awkward? Something about It almost felt wrong after dreaming about my mate last night.

“Are you ok?” He asked as he led me to his car. 

Even though it wasn’t, I nodded my head anyway and quickly got in so he would have to hold the door open any longer. I couldn’t tell him the truth, especially since I didn't know how he would react to it.

“Are you sure everything is ok? You look pretty deep in thought.” He asked pulling from my driveway.

I handn't even noticed he was siting next to me already until he spoke. 

“I’m fine.” I lied again. 

“Now that we're mates you know you can tell me anything, right?” He stated.

Except for this. 

“I know.” I replied.

He looked hopeful that I would confess everything to him but, when I didn’t he let it go.

“Ok.” He said.

The rest of the way to school I stayed quiet and listened to the music that played across the radio. 

Once we arrived to school I wasted no time getting out of his car and neither did he. The only difference in our reasons were I was trying to get away from him and he was trying to get to me. However he won. 

He quickly intertwined our hands as if showing everyone that I was his, making me feel a bit uncomfortable in my skin. I tried to ignore the stares from everyone but that was much easier said than done. 

As we made our way through the crowded parking lot together, the whispers became louder and louder.

"I can't believe he picked her."

“I know. I’m turning 18 next week why I didn’t get picked?” Another girl sneered.

When the warning bell rang I was relieved. Now I won't have to hear anymore of their whispering. I was about to walk away to go find Reagan when Tyler stopped me by grabbing my hand.

“I’ll see you at lunch ok?”

“Ok.” I nodded looking back at him. 

I quickly walked away from him to go find Regan before class started. I had to tell her about my dream, and ask her what she thinks it means. Plus I had to tell her about the whole Tyler thing since she missed the pack meeting last night.

When I found my locker I saw her waiting for me there looking upset about something.

“Where were you this morning? I had to walk to school alone?” She said.

“I have a lot to tell you. Come on."

10 minutes later we were setting in Mr. Fields class waiting for class to start while Regan was absorbing everything I had just told her. I think she was still in shock from it all.

“Are you going to talk?” I asked.

“So let me get this straight. You're mates with Tyler?” 

“Yes, but not true mate’s remember that.” I reminded her. 

“Yeah but it's still Tyler Stevens." She emphasized. "He's so dreamy." 

“I know but what about my dream Rea? What if I meet my real mate?” I said.

That pulled her down from her high. He looked at me sadly.

“I don’t know, Ky.” She mumbled. "I wish I did."

“See that’s my problem.” 

I had a feeling no one could help me with this problem. I’m just going to have to figure it out for myself. Maybe it’s best for me not to meet my mate at all. I don’t think I can reject him and if I accept him then everyone will know, and I don’t know what Tyler or his dad would be to happy about that.
